This list is a complete joke. Very few of these people are even in remotely related fields.
I still stand by my statement. As to science, it doesn't matter what comes after your name or what field you have recieved your degree in. It certainly helps, escpecially when applying for grant money, but when it comes to being right or wrong what matters is the evidence.
Darwin's degree was in theology. I know that he was also trained as a Naturalist, and there wasn't a formal science department during his time. However, it is possible to be both brilliant and non-conformist and still be right.
